Five apps for crapware cleanup
1: The PC Decrapifier
Well, it should be pretty clear from the name what The PC Decrapifier does. This zero-install application, shown in Figure A, easily removes the most common pieces of junk that clutter up a new Windows PC.
2: SlimComputer
SlimComputer (Figure B) doesn’t just remove crapware. It also performs basic performance tuning, such as disabling services and reordering startup items. It can remove some of the less intrusive items, too, like links to trial offers. SlimComputer is interesting in that users can give feedback on what applications should be included in the scans, and it uses a cloud-based system to get this crowdsourced data when you run a scan.
3: WinPatrol
WinPatrol (Figure C) is not nearly as automated as some of the other tools on this list, but what it lacks in automation, it makes up for with control. WinPatrol provides extensive lists of the applications on your system and gives you the choice to disable or remove them. There is a feature-limited free edition as well as a paid version. Read TechRepublic’s interview with WinPatrol’s author.
4: Revo Uninstaller
Revo Uninstaller (Figure D) is an app in the tradition of the uninstallers that were popular in the Windows 9X era. It can show the installed applications on your system and remove them, of course. But more important, it can look at applications that are already gone, find the traces of them that were left over, and give them the heave-ho as well. In addition, it can monitor what occurs during an installation and use that data to completely uninstall an application. Revo Uninstaller has free and paid versions.
5: CCleaner
After you have uninstalled the crapware, use CCleaner (Figure E) to make sure that no traces of it are left behind. CCleaner can also perform the basic tasks of uninstalling software and detecting what runs on startup. It comes in a free edition, a “home” edition, and a commercial user edition. There is also a portable version for running from a USB drive that does not require an installation of its own.
Install from Ninite. Go to Ninite.com, select what you want to install, and it will install without the crapware.

1: Crapware-free computers
Microsoft is taking a cue from Apple and selling computers that have zero crapware on them. It removed 15 applications. In this video, Ken Fowles, Microsoft Signature Lab director, explains what is and isn’t loaded on a Signature PC.
Some PC makers offer crapware-free computers (Dell Vostro line) or an option (usually for a price) to not have trialware installed. You will have to check closely to find the exact details.
2: Autoruns for Windows by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell
More often than not, crapware is configured to start when Windows loads. Software developers want to get maximum exposure for their product. Autoruns
The Autoruns Web site suggests that you select the Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option. Doing so makes it easier to focus on third-party applications.
3: CCleaner (but make sure it’s the portable version)
4: PC DeCrapifier
5: WinPatrol, the go-to resource
Extra tip
Normally, removing crapware is not much of a problem — until you start dealing with antivirus programs, specifically Norton.
it's on my Black list, So if you would prefer using something else, go to this link, grab the appropriate tool, and remove the Norton product.
My theory is if you aren’t using it, get rid of it.
